My venue 11 suddenly forced shutdown for no reason, check the BIOS log, found abnormal shutdown record, shown as ASF2 force off, check the next Baidu, embarrassed .... The content is really few, so turned to Google, found that there are a lot of foreign netizens on the issue of help, but turned a half-day did not find a solution.
I think since the problem is so common, should not be a hardware problem ah, otherwise Dell engineers eat rice every day?
Later saw someone said their flat before back to the factory to change the video card, the graphics card model was changed, but the drive or from the official website of the old model drive, so the problem has been present and not aware of the reason, until the installation of the graphics card manufacturers to provide the driver is the perfect solution.
So I would like to install the driver is not particularly delicate, can not use the Driver wizard, to download the driver from the official website?
Tried many times,,,,, and finally found that the goods can not only be used to drive the wizard to install the driver, not even with the windows to bring the drive to find features. After the installation of the system in the network, if there is a problem driver in the Device Manager, Windows will automatically download it as the appropriate driver from the Internet, in fact, it is not a suitable download, the driver and hardware conflicts, the motherboard detected problems will ASF2 force off ....
So..... All drivers must go to the official website to download, install all the official website containing "recommended" tag driver, before all the drivers are installed, do not connect to the network, my problem is the perfect solution.
Of course, ASF2 force off can not be so simple, maybe my this is just an example ...
